A spring hike is never wrong. Here I am sending some highlights from one of the most beautiful protected areas in Skåne, where I live. It is known for its biodiversity and its many pasqueflowers. My Silent Sunday was photographed there too.
The area is 300 hectares large, and consists of forest, meadows, marshland, beaches and sea.In May it is of course a dream to walk here, but Autumn too is very beautiful. We usually visit twice a year. Milo loves it.The paths are mostly easily walked, but maybe not for everyone.The marshland is fascinating and can not be reached all days of the year. Spring is often OK, if the rains are moderate.Orchids are frequent, as are all spring flowers – gently nodding to you from both sides of the path.Some of them are secret charmers…
About three hours later, we are back at the gate. This part of the hike goes through an area with foreign trees brought here from all over the world.
So, hope you enjoyed the tour, thank you for walking with me! These few images hopefully show some of the National Park’s great diversity.
My cousin lives near Alingsås off a dirt road and between the two of you I have to assume that all Swedes live in forests with exquisite forest walks and houses full of plants… Beautiful!
It’s easy to see what a beautiful place for a walk this is. I love all the flowers, but especially those purple pasqueflowers – I’ve only ever seen white ones!
What a delightful walk, Ann- Christine! The photos reminded me of the difference between the Indian jungles in summers and your forest up in the north.
Needless to say, the images are stunning. From cool greens to delicate flowers, it is a treat to read your posts. Incidentally, last Sunday was International day for Biological Diversity and its theme for the year, building a shared future for all life. Goes well together, right?
Let’s keep building a sustainable environment. Thank you for your lovely comment! So grateful to see Indian jungles and American forests and Nordic forests and…thanks to blogging.
Cool, green, energizing . . . thank you for the treat of walking alongside you 🙂 ! Since I do use a ‘third leg’ these days even n flat ground this is no longer possible for yours truly so ‘your way’ is ‘my way’ !!! Had absolutely no idea any kind of orchids lived so far north . . . lovely . . .
Ah, thank you, Steve. My husband took Milo so that I could make some photos – we did not walk together all the time. I will think of always having a Milo photo as well…
One of the YouTube photographer vloggers I watch is Simon Baxter. Although I do enjoy his photography and the conversation he has with us, it is his dog ”Meg” who steals the show most often. Dogs make everything better. 🙂
I love that quote from you, and I use it often with my friends : Dogs make everything better.
Thanks for this nice tour and the beautiful pictures. A lovely park !

Ha – of course all Swedes do! ;-D ♥

I am glad my way can sometimes be yours, Eha! So grateful for your company! ♥ And we have an abundance of orchids in early summer here.
What an absolutely wonderful place, A C!
Thank you – it is!
And I went to a wonderful place yesterday, seemed like another world!
Yay!
Yay indeed!
Are you there, Sue?
That tree stump is magnificent. It must be so peaceful hiking there
Very peaceful – and beautiful. Thank you for coming along with me!
Oh such a beautiful hike. Love walks like this at this time of year
Me too, it is the best time of the year. Glad you came along with me!
It was a lovely walk that you took us along for, Ann-Christine. But I missed Milo. 🙂

Beautiful hike! I am a lover of trees, so you can imagine which captures I love the most!
I can! Thank you!
Gorgeous and exactly my sort of place to wander. Do you have to worry about ticks?
Glad you came along, Janet! You have to worry about ticks if you are not vaccinated. But I am.
Beautiful shots, Leya 👏 We get the ww marsh orchids here as well 😃
Thank you, Jez. I forget where you live and have to go back to find it!
